I have a question. How were you able to see it before it's release? Did it get leaked or something? Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

So I just watched Civil War again last night and I have gathered my thoughts on it. Overall...I liked it a lot less in the second screening. I will be discussing it with full spoilers and will be fully comparing it with Batman v Superman. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. YOU MAY CALL ME A DC/MARVEL FANBOY BUT I DON'T CARE. . The motivations of each character was shown brilliantly. You could see why Steve Rogers was against the Sokovia Accords and why Tony Stark was all for it. I liked how we saw 'few' members of the Avengers discussing it among themselves. Some agreed, some disagreed while others didn't or couldn't reach their decision. In Batman v Superman, both superheroes had a different style of bringing the criminals to justice. While Superman wanted to grab the criminals and throw them through the walls, Batman wanted to torture them and be the judge by branding them with a bat symbol which means sentencing them to death. (He said he won't be the executioner, but didn't say anything about not being the Judge). In this aspect, I liked Batman v Superman more than CW because from the very beginning, we understand why Bruce Wayne truly hates Superman and why he wants to absolutely crush him. But in CW, there is just a little disagreement between the heroes, and then they joke about it and become mates. The stakes aren't that high throughout CW except in the end (which I'll come about later). In BvS, I know that at least Bruce Wayne will definitely be going for murder. I know that he is brilliant and he will try to take down Superman somehow. I didn't get that glimpse in CW, however, which made the airport scene unexciting. . Going into both the movies, I was aware of the fact that there are a lot of superheroes who will be making an appearance and I was afraid that the directors just want them there to sell the movie. And my fears were true in both of them. Having said that, I think BvS did a somewhat better job. In BvS, we saw glimpses of the Flash, Cyborg and Aquman through a video camera footage and that was all fine by me. It didn't detract me from the story, it was just a few cameo roles and a glimpse of what they can do in their upcoming movies. It wasn't necessary for them to be there but at the same time it wasn't unnecessary. In CW, however, during the airport scene, we understand why Captain America, Iron Man, Bucky, Falcon, Iron Legion, Black Panther and Black Widow were fighting. But the rest...no clue. To me, they just shoehorned in Ant Man just so that he could become giant and surprise the audience. They pushed in Spiderman because of reasons. Hawkeye was introduced to make a few jokes around. Even Vision and Scarlet Witch had no business to fight each other. We clearly saw that neither of them reached their decision regarding the Sokovia Records but suddenly, just when Hawkeye came to save Scarlet she automatically chose sides. That kind of confused me. The action sequences were amazing during that scene, but again the stakes weren't that high. No one was going for blood. They were freaking making jokes during fighting sequences which really infuriated me. It was like watching a comedy circus where the clowns were wearing superhero costumes. . *sigh* . Let's talk about the villain. Marvel has a track record of producing mediocre villains because they spend so much time developing the heroes. And in this movie, it was no different. I have seen the movie twice and still don't know thr name of the villain and why he is so important. I know why he hated the Avengers and tried to turn them against each other. But he was underwhelmed because he didn't do much. He just planted the bomb during the ceremony and that's it. We had a similar kind of villain in BvS by the name of Lex Luthor who also turned Batman and Superman against each other. But in BvS, I couldn't understand why he hated Batman and Superman so much and why he turned them against each other. But the reason why I liked Lex better was because he was the creator of Doomsday. He served his purpose as a villain by creating the monster which ultimately lead to the death of Superman. Between Lex Luthor and the other guy in CW, I have to go with Lex on being the better villain. . And this leads to the ending of both the movies. After Tony finds out about Bucky killing their parents, he turns into a freaking maniac and starts to kill Bucky. Steve, being the voice for reason, tries to defend himself and his best friend. This scene was powerful because we finally got to see what we wanted to see and that was the heroes going for blood. Or at least Iron Man. Captain America wasn't going for the kill but he wanted to stop Tony from murdering his friend. This is similar to the BvS fighting scene where we saw Batman going for the kill and Superman trying to stop him. In this case, the stakes were high in both the movies and we actually got the definitive winner in these two movies. Batman and Captain America (with the help of Bucky). Both the action sequences were phenomenal but I'd give a slight edge to Civil War because it was longer and it was more brutal than the BvS one. But the aftermath in CW was terrible. We saw Tony still angry with Cap and orders him to leave the shield because it didn't belong to him. But there was no encounter between them which showed the characters realising that it was a mistake going against each other. At least in BvS we had a Martha scene which, no matter what anyone says, was still a very powerful scene and it led to both heroes becoming allies. We didn't get that scene in CW. Instead, we saw Cap sending a letter to Tony and apologizing for what he and Bucky did. That's it? That's how they become allies once again. That's how Tony accepts his apology? From a freaking letter? It could've been anything else like Spiderman coming in and being the voice for reason and stopping the fight. Anything else couldn't have been worse than that sorry letter. I guess they couldn't come up with anything else for Stan Lee's cameo. . Even though Civil War had some of the best, jaw-dropping action sequences in any CBM history, the villain, the aftermath and the stakes were the biggest cons of the movie and in turn were the biggest highlights of BvS. The one thing I hated about BvS was the fact that there weren't enough action scenes in the movie. We barely saw Superman fighting anyone in the movie. We only see him talking to someone and then flying away which really underwhelmed the character. But Ben Affleck's Batman made it all better and we certainly hope for him to do more in the upcoming Suicide Squad.
